Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup onion, chopped

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
  • Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Heat half of the butter (about ¾ tablespoon) in a large pan over medium flame. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion to the melted butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Remove the cooked vegetables and place them on a plate; cover to keep warm.
  2. Cook Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining butter. Add the sliced rib-eye steak to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the steak for 3 to 4 minutes until the meat turns brown and is cooked through.
  3. Combine Filling: Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the steak and mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble Egg Rolls: Unfold the egg roll wrappers carefully. In the center of each wrapper, place half a slice of provolone cheese followed by 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable filling. Fold the wrappers according to package directions, using water to moisten and seal the edges to prevent any filling from leaking during frying.
  5. Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat enough oil to submerge the egg rolls over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry Egg Rolls: Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally for even browning. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy egg rolls.
  • You can substitute rib-eye with sirloin or flank steak for a leaner option.
  • For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing during frying.
  • Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for consistent frying results.
